There’s no killing Tommy Shelby (Cillian Murphy), leader of Birmingham, England’s notorious early 20th-century Peaky Blinders gang. And four years after he rode off into the ambiguous sunset at the conclusion of his small-screen series, he once again rises from the ashes to confront demons and settle scores in Peaky Binders: The Immortal Man.
A franchise resurrection that closes one chapter while opening a new one, Steven Knight’s Netflix film (March 6 in theaters; March 20 on the streamer) is a rousing elegy to an underworld saga par excellence and, in particular, to a ruthless and tormented gangster whom, in Murphy’s expert hands, stands as an undisputed crime-fiction icon.
